Great
Makeover
The
"Replacing interior doors should be an impor-
tant part of any renovation job," says Mike
Evans, vice president of Sales – National
Accounts for Senneca Holdings. "Operators
sometimes lean towards saving a few dollars by
leaving the existing doors in place," he says. "In
some cases, existing doors are no longer ADA
compliant because of window size or place-
ment, so that should be a consideration."
Doors are critically important in the
back-of-house areas. In the cold storage area,
"walk-in cooler and freezer doors that do not
seal properly waste energy dollars and can
create issues with condensation and/or ice
buildup," Evans notes. In the kitchen, he says,
"many restaurants do not have sufficient
makeup air to offset the exhaust air from
ovens and grill tops, so choosing the right
weight door can make a big difference in
performance." And the proper door can make
for a more efficient work environment for the
waitstaff, he says, because "the correct type
of door (lightweight sheet style versus solid
core) makes it easier for servers to open the
door while carrying a food tray."
Doors can also have an effect on the
front-of-house environment for patrons.
"Doors that offer greater sound abatement
can also make the dining experience more
pleasant as they help to keep kitchen noise
out of the dining area," says Evans.
